Quilt Hoop Bow Holder Tutorial

I’m swinging by this Saturday night to show off a little weekend crafting. I’m trying to knock out all the little projects that are left for the baby’s room in small chunks instead of subjecting myself to a tortuous sewing marathon. That’s pretty much my approach to life in general these days, just taking what I can in small chunks.

I had to leave Target after *only* getting what was on my list the other day out of sheer exhaustion. *GASP* Can you imagine?! I didn’t even have the energy to browse the baby section or the accessories! I was winded after just 15 minutes. Shockingly, I managed to keep the bill to under $50 that time, which NEVER happens. Target owns me.

So my small chunk today was to knock out a fun little craft that serves as wall decor and a bow holder for all those adorable little bows baby girl will undoubtedly collect as she grows older. My collection right now is pretty pathetic, but I can’t wait to fill this whole thing up. Yes, I am unashamedly in love with bows on baby girls (but I draw the line when the bow is so large it makes the baby look like a helicopter).

Then cut 20 inches off each strip, leaving one a little shorter than the other and giving 4 in total. Then turn each one right side out and press with the seam in the middle.

Before you start putting it together, make sure your main fabric is pressed and looking nice, then lay your main fabric over the top of the inner circle of the quilting hoop, lining the pattern up how you’d like. Don’t worry, you can still make small adjustments from here. Once you’ve got that positioned, lay the ribbon or the strips of fabric where you’d like them. I just eyeballed it. Then press your outer loop over the fabric laid on top of the inner loop.

Flip it over and pull the fabric and ribbon/strips tight. Then trim your fabric leaving about an inch of fabric around the edge.

Add a bead of hot glue, a few inches at a time, around the inside of the hoop, pull the fabric over and adhere. Once you’ve glued all the main fabric, fold over the ribbon/strips (making sure to adjust the tension one last time) and glue down.

Flip it over, admire and hang on the wall. Add adorable bows and say “Awwww!”

Oops! I’ve already shown you more of the nursery than I wanted to. I’m holding out on giving you more until the grand reveal… you know, unless I come up with any more fun crafts between now and then.

I absolutely LOVE this idea! I really need to make one of these for my daughter’s barrettes and bows. Thanks for sharing! (And look at you not hating your Olfa rotary cutter! 🙂 They really are one of the best tools ever!)

That is so awesome! We totally need one of those. My daughter’s hair barrettes are all thrown in a tupperware container. Classy eh? It’s such a pain to find a matching pair. I think I’m going to try to add some sort of hooks on the bottom for headbands.

Wait? Is the Tupperware where you are “not” supposed to put them? That’s what we do too! This, however, is AWESOME. I’ve been wanting to do something like this / with an empty frame of sorts but I haven’t found one I like. I love this idea, instead!
